The Air Force is trying to boot out of its ranks an officer who has religious objections to the experimental COVID-19 shots, but is avoiding a court-martial procedure for fear of what it could reveal.

That would be that the military service's demand that all submit to the vax agenda is actually not a "lawful" order.

Which would be a huge "embarrassment."

It is Just the News that is reporting on the case involving Air Force Master Sgt. Vincent White, a Christian who requested a religious accommodation so that he would not be forced to take the abortion-linked COVID jab.

A court-martial now has been taken off the table, the report said, but he still could be facing an administrative separation board.

His lawyer, Davis Younts, says there's a reason.

"It'd be a significant embarrassment and a huge blow to the Air Force to have a judge rule" that the shot requirement is "not a lawful order," he said.

White's first request for an accommodation was rejected, but still he refused to take the shot.

He was then given an "Article 15" non-judicial punishment.

Under that resolution he could lose pay or rank and be given extra duty. But the rules also allow him to reject that, and insist on a court-martial.

That's what White did.
